Samsung Vista GDI Driver Install Crashes
I have a nice Samsung ML4500. Not that new, but then I don't use my printer very much. But it is useful at times. So... I have the Vista ML4500 GDI driver installation package for it. I run it by right clicking in compatibility mode.I've done this three times now. The first two times, it crashed my machine dead as soon as the Samsung splash screen appeared.
Video broke up, screen blanked and then only a hard reset fixed it.Third time, despite same compatibility mode operation, the Samsung installer just tells me that the driver is incompatible with this version of windows.
Unfortunately, since it's a prepacked installation in an exe file, I can't get at any of the real files, inf, sys etc to see if I can by pass the installer's front end.I've also tried the Vista GDI drivers for other similiar models, which give me similar results. If anyone has any ideas on how to resolve this, other than approaching Samsung which I think is likely to prove unproductive, I'd love to hear from them!Â
Edit: now, from another post, realised how I can unpack the driver set from the installer. I've done this, but the raw setup.exe still crashes win 7... I've now also tried the right click on the inf file in the Vista 64 subdir of the install package, but it tells me this method of installation is unsupported.

Samsung SGH-a867 Eternity Driver Install
Thus far, this method works on builds 7057 and 7077 x64. I can't imagine it working any differently on x86. I did have to re-perform the driver reinstall (step 5+) after I upgraded from 7057 to 7077. First: KEEP YOUR PHONE UNPLUGGED FROM THE COMPUTER Second: Download and Install Samsung PC Studio 3.2. The version I've downloaded was "Samsung_PC_Studio_321_GL6.exe" (MD5: 55B2561750C25BC0453DA9DDBD7DA216) for now it looks like you can still get it from here: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/co...io_321_GL6.exe. Install the software. (note: Do not download and install that new version 5 crap, PC Studio 3 is already bloated enough and it sucks we're forced to use their interface, but the version 5 came with crashing 'usb com port' services and more bloatware) Third: Execute PC Studio's Automatic Updates Allow it to update what it wants (at the time of this writing, it won't ask you to update to version 5) or the program will bug the hell out of you. Who knows, you can probably do fine without the updates, but I'm telling you how I got it to work. Once complete, Close Samsung PC Studio 3. Fourth: Plug in your Phone with the USB cable. Windows will go Beeedoop and Baaadump. It will ask to find a driver online and it will fail. Just cancel out of everything. Fifth: Open up the Device Manager - I shouldn't have to include this section if you're Method 1: Run devmgmt.msc Method 2: If you have "My Computer" on your desktop, Right click on it, Click on Manage, Click on Device Manager on the Left Bar. Method 3: Click on the Start Menu, Right click on Computer, Click on Manage, Click on Device Manager on the Left Bar. Sixth: Install the SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem Driver Under Other Devices, Right click on SAMSUNG CDMA Technologies, then click on Update Driver Software. Click on Browse my computer for driver software. Then click on Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Click on Next. Click on Have Disk. Navigate to Samsung's Drivers folder. For me, it was in C:Program Files (x86)SamsungSamsung PC Studio 3USB Drivers2 Select ssm_mdm2.inf Click on OK. If Given a Choice (I seem to remember having to choose, but when I replayed this, it only gave me this one) click on SAMSUNG Mobile USB Modem and not the other ones (I think one of them said Com Port and the other just USB drive.) They will install properly, but they won't communicate with Samsung PC Studio 3, rendering them effectively useless. Ignore Warning. Click on Yes. Windows has successfully updated your driver software! Click on OK. Finally: Open Samsung PC Studio 3. On your phone, navigate to the "Main Screen" (keep pressing the End-Call Button till you get home) and in a few seconds it should say SGH-A867 connected on the bottom right. If not, click on File > Connection, then click on USB, then click on Connect.

Upgrade From Vista On HP Pavillion PC Dv9000 - Crashes
I've upgraded my HP pavillion dv9000 from Vista to Win 7 Home Premium.  The upgrade appeared to go smoothly, however I now have a number of problems. The first is that it crashes mutiple times per day, usually when no one has been at the machine for hours, I return to find it shut down, when I boot it, it nicely tells me it crashed and asks if it should search for a solution, but never finds anything. The second is that I frequently loose connectivity to other machines and NAS devices on my network. When I reboot, I can access both NAS devices and my other PC on the network, at some point along the way, I can no longer access the other PC or one of the two NAS devices (always the same NAS device.) In the Windows Explorer, I can see the other PC and both NAS devices, but when I try to open them, it hangs.  The other PC can still see both NAS devices as can other devices on my network.Lastly, I can see the printer that is shared from my other PC, but when I send something to the printer, it appears to send correctly, and if look at the printer from the control panel, it tells me it sent a page, but if I open the window for the printer, it shows no documents. Suspect this one is a driver error and couldn't find any win7 drivers for the HP OfficeJet G85. Couldn't find any new win7 drivers for the HP9000 anywhere on the HP site, but I did run the win7 upgrade advisor which said everything would be fine. I was really hoping win 7 was going to get me past 2 years of frustration with vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated before I wipe the machine clean and break out my XP install disks. Â

I have an ASUS M2N68-VM MB with 4GB Ram and a 1TB HD. I have attempted to install Windows 7 64bit RC bit which I downloaded 2 days ago.Windows gets thru the install process, then re-boots the PC for the first time.During the first reboot, I get the the "Windows" screen where the red/green/blue balls move around, then the PC reset and Restarts. It will continue to do that infinitum.If I try and go to "Safe Mode" windows says it has not finished installed yet and will not let me.The PC was running Unbutu up until now, and has been a stable box working as a Video Server. Nothing wrong with the hardware.Â

Install Failure When Booting From HDD First Time It Crashes
I tried to install RC1 64Bit on a clean hard disk. It all seemed fine, got trough copy/expand files. Then it boots from hdd for the first time and tells me something about registry settings... and then it crashes, just like a reboot. Next time the boot manager goes up telling me that windows didnt shutdown/boot correctly. When I choose normal boot, it will just crash again (nice boot-crash-loop). When I choose safe mode i can get to desktop gui but a popup tells me that setup cannot finish in safe mode... If formatted the hdd, disconnected all other drives/usb stuff. Updated BIOS to latest. Checked BIOS settings, played around with disabling/enabling onboard audio etc. No luck, several installs, all failed with the same problem. Sad that I dont get any error msg or blue screen/bug check. I also ran windows memory diagnostics - no problems. XP run's fine and now i installed Vista 64Bit, that worked.

Samsung F1 Drive Install Issue
Existing Setup Abit IN9 32-Max, 2gig OCZ, E6300, WD 250g, Windows 7 v7264 x32 NO issues, everything runs fine. Removed WD 250g and switched to Samsung F1 Spinpoint 750g drive (which is essentially my old gamming system running on xp). Cannot install Windows 7, regardless of version, locks halfway through install. Hard reset and Drive is no longer detected. I experienced this same issue back when I had the gaming system and the only way to fix it was to disable Command Qeueing ( which was recommended by users with same issue ). The problem seems to be with the nvidia chipset ( in this case 6) not playing nice with some Samsung drives. However, I was able to install XP and of course disable this option. PC then ran fine for a year, no lockups. Basically same system, but will not allow Windows 7 to install. Ive tried different sata ports, different partitions, different Windows 7 versions, different bios settings... Always locks halfway through.

Samsung BlackJack II Drivers Will Not Install Properly
Alright so, I just got a new computer yesterday and it just so happened to have Windows 7 64-Bit on it. I am a new user, that in a few days has switched from XP to 7. I own a Samsung BlackJack II, which I have done countless modifications to, and now, I cannot seem to sync it up, let alone, connect it to my computer. When I plug it in, via USB. It worked the first time, synced it and everything with Windows Mobile Device Center, but then when I unplugged and replugged it in, driver's were corrupt(obviously), and tried uninstalling it all, and then reinstalling them all, drivers and WMDC, and I get a little notification that informs me that the drivers were unsuccessfully installed. Which is no longer making any sense to me... At all! lol, so I was wandering could you guys help me out here? I'm new to Windows 7 and I hope that this Community, gives me a lot of insight, and information to get back on my feet.

Samsung Monitor Driver
I've had an ongoing problem with this for some time now. You can see here that my Device Manager tells me that I'm missing a video controller, and also in that post is my inability to watch full screen videos online. Here, I talk about the problems I've had with my display driver crashing. Now, yesterday I downloaded Photoshop, and as it opened, a window popped up saying that my "monitor Profile" is defective and needs to be calibrated (See first attachment). If I choose to Ignore Profile, I can use Photoshop as usual, but everything I export has an irremovable yellow tinge. If I choose to Use Anyway, there is no white in Photoshop's color pallet, only the same yellowish color. This got me thinking for the first time that my monitor was the cause of my problems, so I searched online for Samsung 2243swx drivers. On their webpage, they had up for download only one driver, which is for a VGA graphics card (See second attachment). I've been running a PCI graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS), and I was wondering if this could be the problem. Would you say I ought to buy a VGA graphics card?

Samsung Ml-1640 Driver Issue
Recently I installed windows 7 in my system upgrading from vista. Both are 32 bit. My Samsung ml 1640 is not recognized by OS. When I downloaded the Windows 7 drivers from Samsung site the file ml-1640_32bit.exe, installed the smart panel but stops at 75 per cent with the message, "You have no permission to change the settings for this printer. To change settings contact your system administrator." I ran the file as an administrator. I even turned off the UAC. But the drivers won't install.

Samsung Ml-2510 Printer Driver
I have a Samsung ML-2510 that I recently purchased and I can not get it to work with Windows 7. I have tried the xp driver and the Vista driver running in vista compatibility mode as an administrator and have had no success. The reason I bought this printer was because my older hp deskjet 3745 would not work with Windows 7 and it had no vista driver so I ran it in compatibility mode and it also did not work. Both these printers work fine in xp mode. I would like help with the samsung primarily but also with the hp.

Asus DVD Or Samsung CD Driver Errors
I use an Intel D845 main board with an Intel Pentium 4 2.8GHz and 2 Gigs of RAM for testing. If I remember correctly I and run XP PRO then Vista Business 32 with no problems. Now I have Windows 7 beta and I cannot use my Asus DVD or Samsung CD, they show in hardware manager with driver errors but if I try to update my drivers Win 7 tells me I have the latest drives installed. Okay so now I want to try Windows RC, I boot from DVD no problem except it cannot find any hard drive to install to. I think the problem is cause by the fact that the hard drive is SATA and the DVD/CD is IDE. Is there a work around for this?

Samsung SENS R509 Webcam And Mic Driver
I am living in Korea and bought this machine last year. It is very fast and has a great processor so I figured it would be perfect for Windows 7. Well I've been running Windows 7 for a week now and love it. Unfortunatly I can't seem to find any driver online for the webcam and mic for this machine. I know Samsung isn't that popular of a computer manufacturer. What can I do to get these two crucial componants working. Sadly all the literature that came with this machine is in korean.

Modem Driver Problem / Samsung Rant (M540) Phone
i just installed Windows 7 64bit. I use a Samsung Rant m540 Cell Phone for my Internet connection. I cant get high speed on my road so its alot better than dial up, anyway ive used it for a few years and now i cant seem to get it installed. It works fine on other comps and i had a driver for win xp 64bit that works. I got it installed on the windows 7 and it shows up as the modem and says its working properly but it wont respond when i try to query the modem or connect to the Internet. Im pretty sure i just need a driver for the windows 7 for the phone as modem. But Sprint does not have a driver or program which supports it and neither does Samsung which created the phone. I googled for at least 5 hours with no success ive tried a few different drivers and no luck.

EXPLORER.EXE Crashes, MMC.EXE Crashes, Moviemaker.exe Error
I want to love Win7 so badly, but this is just crazy. I'm about to go back to good old XP, simply for the stability. I'm about fed up with Windows 7 after only using it for two weeks. Off of a brand new and formatted clean install, with only Norton NIS 2010, Itunes, Adobe Reader, and Firefox 3.5.7 installed, I get constant explorer.exe crashes. Shortly followed by an mmc.exe crash, then it just gets caught up in a never-ending explorer.exe crash that only a reboot resolves, for a short time. All drivers are up to date, and all Win 7 updates have been applied. I've even formatted and re-installed Win7 only to have explorer begin crashing a day later. This is all on a stock Dell Inspiron 545 quad core, 8GB RAM, etc. I'm very tech savvy and am about jump off of the Win 7 bandwagon. Maybe the Apple Mac commercials are correct, another fumbled attempt at a stable OS from Microsoft? After extensive reading, it appears that many others are suffering through this ____ also. Some get it while attempting to right click any icon, some when launching apps, some, like me , for no apparent reason at all. I don't ever get the BSOD, but the computer is essentially non-functional due to explorer restarting all the time. I've done a ton of reading and have tried sfc /scannow, which found no errors. I've tried shellexview, to no avail for the context handlers. I've uninstalled and re-installed all non-MS apps. I've tried everything that I've read, and it eventually starts crashing again. It is very random, and I can find no patterns that cause the explorer crashing. It works for two days, then goes haywire. Sometimes it only works for an hour before the explorer crashes begin. And yes, this is a fully licensed and legal copy of Win 7 Pro that I purchased through CDW. A side note, this computer ran WIN XP perfectly. All hardware has been tested and is perfect. If anyone has found a fix for this issue, then please chime in! Below are the errors that populate the Event Viewer: Activation context generation failed for "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryMovieMaker.Exe".Error in manifest or policy file "c:program files (x86)windows livephoto galleryWLMFDS.DLL" on line 8. Component identity found in manifest does not match the identity of the component requested.

Driver For Sata Seagate 120Gb And Sata 2 Samsung 200Gb
I´ve been having some troubles with seeing my usb storage devices in win 7 x64 ultimate edition. Those are 2 usb flash drives, i-pod as well as external hdd-s. every other usb device like wireless mouse/kbd, scanner, digi-cam have been directly recognized and installed by windows. The storage hardware has been also recognized, as i can see it in the device manager (right name and model and so on) but installation of driver fails. As response i get error code 32 (Device Status: "A driver (service) for this device has been disabled. An alternate driver may be providing this functionality. (Code 32)"). I´ve been searching the problem in different forums for days, but haven´t found any solution yet :( The only suggestion that might help, was to change sht. in registry but it wasn't said where in it. My system, in case that might be helpful information: MSI k8N Neo4 Athon XP64 3200+ 3Gb DDR Dual channel GF 7300GT 1xSata Seagate 120Gb 1xSata2 Samsung 200Gb
